GETTING TO KNOW THE COMPANY

Quick Cleaners

Quick Cleaners in Pewaukee, Wisconsin has been in the dry cleaning industry for over 30 years, yet had no online presence. Through research I found majority of local dry cleaners often rely on outdated websites or also have no online presence at all. This company wanted a website to relay information to customers and build trust through clarity and branding. From interviewing the owner and employees that relayed that customers prioritize service details and contact info.

The challenge was to design a site that felt modern, warm, and easy to navigate, even for first-time visitors. My goal was to create a clean, trustworthy digital presence that helps users quickly understand services, business info, and to feel confident in the care provided through a one-page responsive website.

I led the design and development, from the wireframes to final code, focusing on mobile-first design, lightweight performance and layout clarity with warm branding.

DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Built with semantic HTML, JavaScript and Tailwind CSS
